伊拉克战争是21世纪初的重大国际事件之一，围绕这次战争产生的大量话语为语言学研究者深入思考战争、话语、社会之间的关系提供了丰富的素材。
　　庞超伟编著的《战争话语与战争合法性建构（一项基于布什伊战演讲语料库的批评话语研究）》以美国前总统乔治·布什2002年至2009年间发表的190篇各类演讲为语料，以系统功能语言学和合法性符码理论为基础构建分析框架。通过对比战前和战后话语中“主题簇”和“主题群”不同构成，以及话语内部人际与概念意义的配置方式，揭示战后美国政府在遭受各方质疑和指责的情况下，如何调整话语策略，重建战争的合法性。研究发现，布什战后话语策略调整的核心是将伊战重新语境化于全球反恐战争之中，并将其重新定义为自由民主与恐怖主义的意识形态之战，而不再是为防范大规模杀伤性武器的先发制人之战，由此使得伊战在意识形态层面继续保持合法性。
